| Nokia N95 Review - Is This What Computers Have Become? |

Page 3 of 5 Video If there is one area that benefits massively from the 2.6 inch display, that got to be video playback. Real Player is pre-installed on the phone and is capable of playing MP4 videos in full screen and video playback in landscape mode simply rocks. The Video Center application lets you to subscribe to video feeds and view them right on your phone.  Many freeware and commercial applications are available for S60 phones to enable them to play DivX encoded avi files as well. I tried DivX player and SmartMovie and they worked pretty well. However the phone hanged whenever I tried to switch UI modes when in these applications. TV Out This feature is one of my favorites and this opens up a lot of possibilities. The TV Out feature on the N95 gives the user a host of new and exciting options to explore. The 3.5mm connector doubles up to offer the additional connectivity option, there by letting users see whats on their phone screen on a much bigger screen. This feature is best to view videos and photos on you widescreen TV. But hold on, its got more to it! You can plug the Red and White pins of the TV Out cable into your HiFi music system and enjoy some great music. Fire up the web browser and get ready to browse the web on the largest browser ever - your TV!! If you wanna have more fun, just open any game on your phone and turn it into a console. This is an absolutely awesome feature both in terms of productivity and fun. Connectivity As mentioned earlier there are a host of connectivity options including Bluetooth, Infrared, WiFi, HSPDA, EDGE, GPRS, UPnP, and PC Synchronisation. The N95 has a Bluetooth v2.0 + EDR radio and is the first Nokia phone to feature both A2DP and AVRCP Bluetooth profiles which is a welcome improvement.  WiFi works as expected and there are no issues whatsoever. But a few users are complaining about frequent disconnections during browsing. This is because of Nokia wanting to save some battery life by enabling power saving mode and it can be easily disabled from the settings.  I had no chance to check out the faster connectivity solutions (3G and HSPDA) but I tried out GPRS and its flawless. The major problem started when I connected my phone to the PC with the provided DKE-2 datacable. The data transfer speeds from the microSD to PC were no where near to what I achieved using a card reader and there is a bigger problem that concerns me. |
